The Garage apartment is completely private from our main house; however it is attached. There is an outside stair case and entrance. There is sound proof insulation to keep the noise between both spaces private. The garage apartment sits over the garage, so privacy is well maintained. There is also a separate thermostat to control the air or heat in this space.

The 2nd bedroom has just enough room for a bunk bed that has a full mattress and a twin. This room is very small- just large enough for the beds . This is not a full bedroom. The door is a privacy curtain.

Rough start made right

Had to reach out to manager on the day of our arrival as I had not received check in information. A quick response was provided. Upon arrival, we found the bathroom had not been fully cleaned with soap drips on shower floor and hair in sink. Only 2 stained bath towels and 1 washcloth were provided. Kim was quick to respond and make things right. The bathroom situation was made right the next morning and all was good.

Solar Eclipse stay

We stayed in the cute, private garage apt. We stayed two days during the total solar eclipse. It is a very efficient use of space and the decorating was very contemporary and clean. Just like the pictures. It is pet friendly and there were great walking trails with bluebonnets blooming. We really enjoyed it and wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely recommend to our friends.

Hideaway from home!

The property was well kept and clean. Very quiet all around the property. There are multiple home dwellings on this property but interestingly enough the owner managed to build and decorate in a way where you had privacy. I say this bc you’d think with multiple homes in one area you’d have to share space. But rather the contrary, I felt alone during our stay which was much appreciated. I’d suggest this vrbo for a couple or a couple and two kids. I’d say comfortably sleeping 4, we had 5 in our group but thankfully the person who slept in the living room didn’t mind so much. Thank you to our host, I give you a thumbs up.

Garage apartment

This is a garage apartment. It is very small as described. I did not care for hearing the garage door open every morning, but that is to be expected as it is a garage apartment. The blanket on my bed stunk so I had to wash it in the washer/dryer that was available. I did not care for walking through the gravel to the apartment. It was aesthetically decorated. I rented it because we were purchasing a new home about 8 minutes away, and my husband and I needed a place to sleep and eat meals.
